South Africa meets Canada in historic World Cup knockout match

South Africa's Bafana Bafana face Canada in their first knockout stage match of the World Cup on Sunday in Los Angeles. Coach Hugo Broos has led the team to this stage for the first time following a dramatic 1-0 win against South Korea, where Thapelo Maseko scored the decisive goal. The victory came after a difficult start to the tournament, including a loss to Mexico and a draw with Czechia. Broos expressed confidence in his team despite facing criticism after earlier performances. The outcome against Canada will determine if South Africa advances to face either the Netherlands or Morocco in the next round.
